John 12:35-36
12:35 Jesus replied,
“The light is with you for a little while longer.
Walk while you have the light, so that the darkness may not overtake you.
The one who walks in the darkness does not know where he is going.
12:36 While you have the light, believe in the light, so that you may become sons of light.”
When Jesus had said these things, he went away and hid himself from them.
John 13:1
Washing the Disciples’ Feet
13:1 Just before the Passover feast, Jesus knew that his time had come to depart from this world to the Father. Having loved his own who were in the world, he now loved them to the very end.
John 13:3
13:3 Because Jesus
knew that the Father had handed all things over to him,
and that he had come from God and was going back to God,
John 13:33
13:33 Children, I am still with you for a little while. You will look for me,
and just as I said to the Jewish religious leaders,
‘Where I am going you cannot come,’
now I tell you the same.
John 16:5
16:5 But now I am going to the one who sent me,
and not one of you is asking me, ‘Where are you going?’
John 16:16-22
16:16 In a little while you
will see me no longer; again after a little while, you
will see me.”
16:17 Then some of his disciples said to one another, “What is the meaning of what he is saying, ‘In a little while you will not see me; again after a little while, you will see me,’ and, ‘because I am going to the Father’?”
16:18 So they kept on repeating, “What is the meaning of what he says, ‘In a little while’? We do not understand what he is talking about.”
16:19 Jesus could see that they wanted to ask him about these things, so he said to them, “Are you asking each other about this – that I said, ‘In a little while you will not see me; again after a little while, you will see me’?
16:20 I tell you the solemn truth, you will weep and wail, but the world will rejoice; you will be sad, but your sadness will turn into joy.
16:21 When a woman gives birth, she has distress because her time has come, but when her child is born, she no longer remembers the suffering because of her joy that a human being has been born into the world.
16:22 So also you have sorrow now, but I will see you again, and your hearts will rejoice, and no one will take your joy away from you.
John 17:11
17:11 I
am no longer in the world, but
they are in the world, and I am coming to you. Holy Father, keep them safe
in your name
that you have given me, so that they may be one just as we are one.
John 17:13
17:13 But now I am coming to you, and I am saying these things in the world, so they may experience
my joy completed
in themselves.
Mark 16:19
16:19 After the Lord Jesus had spoken to them, he was taken up into heaven and sat down at the right hand of God.
